re: Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage

I am about halfway through listening to this for the first time & it is different than I expected but I like it enough that I will buy it. I am an old school 80's metal guy & this is one band that I defend to all the older music fans. Although they have never put together a complete album in my opinion(City of Evil comes closest but not every song is great) I am just happy there is a band that is trying to keep what is left of rock alive. They also deliver live. You can say what you want about them but they are great musicians.
